Currently working on a Legend of Zelda cosplay as kid Link from Ocarina of Time. Boots on ebay are crazy expensive, and my one trusty prop; making the Deku shield. I'm really excited to put this thing together and this will become my first handmade project.

I feel beyond stupid now for not buying the shoes that would've been perfect for Kaname when I had the chance on Ebay two months ago before I had officially decided on her! -.- I'm now hunting for her shoes....again.

I've decided to hold off styling my wig until I got back to my dorm room in a week. My parents are avid smokers and so I am keeping my wig shut and sealed so that it's good to go when I attempt to style it.

Hurry up January and get here so I can go back to focusing fully on my cosplays! I need something good!

I think I finally have found a pattern for Yusuke's pants~ I believe I can add the cuffs to the bottoms too.
Still questioning the right base wig for Yusuke. I don't want it to be too long in the back. Hmm.....

So I finally went to attach the pommel to the sword hilt and that took way more work than it should have. -_- I tried using gorilla glue at least 3-4 times and then tried a mixture of gorilla and hot glue and now I'm at hot glue. It's been staying for now but I am worried about the glue melting during the con if it is really hot. >_<

My friend invited me over to her house today to watch Sailor Moon movies on one condition: I come dressed as Tuxedo Mask.

I did (much to my father’s dismay of me leaving the house in a cape, bowtie and mask,) and the first thing she said when she opened the door was “Mom! Tuxedo Mask is here! And he brought roses!” and both her mom and grandma were gushing over how nice my cape was.

...I love my cape X)

PICTURES!!!

I know right? There's just something about her that I can't get over, lol. The only thing I'm not looking forward to on making her outfit is her hair ... I look horrid with short hair, and all those spikes are not going to be fun to do, lolol.
Yes, in spirit <3

Oh god, I feel your pain, I've done that with almost every costume I've made T_T ... I blame my addiction to shoes, lol.

Unfortunately we didn't get any since my mask kept falling off XP But my friends and I are having a cosplay New year's eve party tomorrow and i was going to wear it again. There will definitely be pictures then though.

Had a dream I was at a single day con, in which my expensive Ciel cosplay went totally missing and I ended up cosplaying as Russia instead. For some reason my Russia boots were heels instead though and everything kept going wrong.
Apparently stressing over cosplay related things gives you anxiety related cosplay dreams, which aren't as pleasant as normal cosplay dreams are.
In other news, ordered cosplay binder today, hoping to order my contacts and possibly a pair of boots next week. Excited to finally be ordering things, makes me a lot less stressed over getting everything together in time.--Considering most of what I need will take a literal month of shipping.

If anyone's paid any attention to my random ramblings, you'll know I'm working on a pony cosplay. After putting the finishing touches on my Derpy wings, I got my ears and decided to pin them to my hat to see what they looked like. And it looked... odd. It's a newsboy cap, specifically this one. As you can see, it puffs out at the top as per the style, to put pony ears on it would look unnatural. I've already got Pegasus wings, popping out from the sleeve holes of my capelet/vest thing (it's hard to explain)... In this case would it be okay to go without the ears or should I pin them upright more by the joint between cap and visor, closer to where my natural ears would be?

I finally managed to make some more real progress on my Spirit!Zelda cosplay. I finished sketching the apron design and finished all but the painting on her armor piece. Take that cold bug that doesn't want me to work on cosplays!

Also, my little cosplay group finally has a complete Alice in Musicland cast!
